I am so disgusted right now. The Fox viewers are sick individuals and I have several members of my family that won't change the fucking channel. 2 of them listen to Rush every fucking day. I'm so sad for my fellow Americans. They are going to die in historic numbers and they will have no one to blame but themselves for listening to the lies and misinformation.

And this latest from John Oliver my be his best show ever - and the best we have heard at simply presenting the facts and what we're up against. And he's a late night comedian...

I knew those types wouldn’t cooperate.

It’s all a competition to them, and that’s supposedly what makes this country great in their minds.

Win-win situations don’t exist to them, or it’s viewed as a rarity.

Just shows where we are now in this country, we're getting the most important news that we need from our informed late night comedians.

He is a national treasure, even though he is originally from England. He's ours now! I wish more people would watch him because he really cuts through all the bullshit and gets straight to the point, while still managing to be entertaining. Thanks for posting, Rhiannon!
